Exodus 15

1 Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and they said: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified: the horse and the rider he has cast into the sea.

Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to God, and said, "I will sing to Jehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.

2 The Lord is my strength and my praise, and he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I shall glorify him. He is the God of my father, and I shall exalt him.

JAH is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

3 The Lord is like a fighting man. Almighty is his name.

Jehovah is a warrior. Jehovah is his name.

4 The chariots of Pharaoh, and his army, he has cast into the sea; his elect leaders have been submerged in the Red Sea.

Pharaoh's chariots and his army he hurled into the sea. His elite officers were drowned in the Red Sea.

5 The abyss has covered them. They descended into the depths like a stone.

The depths covered them. They went down into the depths like a stone.

6 Your right hand, O Lord, has been magnified in strength. Your right hand, O Lord, has struck down the enemy.

Your right hand, Jehovah, is glorious in power. Your right hand, Jehovah, shattered the enemy.

7 And in the multitude of your glory you have put down your adversaries. You sent out your wrath, which devoured them like stubble.

In the greatness of your majesty you overthrew those who rise up against you. You sent forth your wrath. It consumed them like stubble.

8 And by the breath of your fury, the waters were gathered together. The flowing waves stood still. The abyss was gathered into the midst of the sea.

With the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood upright like a wall. The depths solidified in the heart of the sea.

9 The enemy said: ‘I will pursue and overtake them. I will divide the spoils. My soul will be filled. I will unsheathe my sword. My hand will put them to death.’

The enemy said, 'I will pursue. I will overtake. I will divide the spoil. My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'

10 Your breath blew, and the sea covered them. They were submerged like lead into the mighty waters.

You blew with your breath. The sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

11 Who is like you in strength, O Lord? Who is like you: magnificent in sanctity, terrible and yet praiseworthy, accomplishing miracles?

Who is like you, Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, working wonders?

12 You extended your hand, and the earth devoured them.

You stretched out your right hand. The earth swallowed them.

13 In your mercy, you have been a leader to the people whom you have redeemed. And in your strength, you have carried them to your holy dwelling place.

"In your loving kindness you will lead the people that you have redeemed. You will guide them by your strength to your holy dwelling.

14 Peoples rose up and became angry. Sorrows took hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.

When the peoples hear, they will tremble. Anguish will grip the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 Then the leaders of Edom were stirred up, and trembling took hold of the robust of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan were petrified.

Then the chiefs of Edom will be terrified. Trembling will seize the leaders of Moab. All the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.

16 Let fear and dread fall upon them, by the magnitude of your arm. Let them become immobilized like stone, until your people cross through, O Lord, until this, your people whom you possess, cross through.

Terror and dread will fall on them. By the greatness of your arm they will be as still as a stone, until your people pass over, Jehovah, until the people pass over whom you have purchased.

17 You shall lead them in and plant them, on the mountain of your inheritance, in your most firm dwelling place, which you have formed, O Lord, your sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have made firm.

You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Jehovah, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, Jehovah, which your hands have established.

18 The Lord will reign in eternity and beyond.

Jehovah shall reign forever and ever."

19 For the rider Pharaoh, with his chariots and horsemen, was brought into the sea. And the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea. But the sons of Israel walked across dry ground in its midst.”

20 And so Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took up a timbrel in her hand. And all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.

21 And she prophesied, saying: “Let us sing to the Lord, for he has been gloriously magnified. The horse and its rider, he has thrown into the sea.”

Miriam answered them, "Sing to Jehovah, for he has triumphed gloriously. The horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea."

22 Then Moses took Israel from the Red Sea, and they went forth into the desert of Shur. And they wandered for three days through the wilderness, and they found no water.

23 And they arrived at Marah. They were unable to drink the waters of Marah because they were bitter. Therefore, he also established a name befitting the place, calling it ‘Marah,’ that is, bitterness.

24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying: “What shall we drink?”

The people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"

25 So he cried out to the Lord, who showed him a tree. And when he had cast it into the waters, they were turned into sweetness. In that place, he established instructions for him, and also judgments. And he tested him there,

Then he cried to Jehovah. Jehovah showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there he tested them;

26 saying: “If you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and obey his commands, and keep all his precepts, I will not bring upon you any of the distress that I imposed on Egypt. For I am the Lord, your healer.”

and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who heals you.
